If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

Just seen that, accurate portraying of coffee amateur ☺️
Good choice on the Barn Owl for decaf. I don't know if there's any other animal with a more asleep sleeping face!
Then there's me who could probably snort 1000mg of caffeine and then go take a nice nap
probably snort 1000mg of caffeine and then go take a nice nap
Yeah... A dirt nap... Forever.
That's 3 times the ld50 lethal dose.
The LD50 is 367 mg/kg. I assume, they are heavier than 1 kg. A daily dosis of 400 mg (approximately 4 cups of coffee) is considered to be harmless for a 70 kg person (5.7 mg/kg). More than 1000 mg may result in caffeinism (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caffeine#Overdose).
good point.
Forever? Where do I sign up
I would be dead several times then. 1g makes you tweak, sure, but thelethal dose was around 50g, so nowhere near
This is great! I want more owl comics!
